Access folder in Windows Sandbox

The Windows Sandbox feature provides a convenient way of isolating and testing (suspicious) software. To make a host folder available in the sandbox, run a file with the following content and the extension .wsb:

<Configuration>
  <MappedFolders>
    <MappedFolder>
      <HostFolder>C:\temp</HostFolder>
      <ReadOnly>true</ReadOnly>
    </MappedFolder>
  </MappedFolders>
</Configuration>
